| Message | Mr Speaker, we oppose state atheism just as much as state religion, and believe in the virtue of pluralism, particularly among public officials, who should reflect the diversity of views and believes in the overall population. This bill is anti-religious populism, and has nothing to do with a secular state, which we very much support. Éléonore Gascoyne MP Member for Elbian RFR Parliamentary Leader |
